Our goal is to tighten up the game, increase performance and reduce the size
of the installers. We improved the frame rate a great deal in this release.
Some people have reported as much as a 40% increase - although performance
varies based upon your specific system setup.
-Instant Action-
The new Instant Action mode of America’s Army allows you to quickly jump
into the AA action without the need to complete training first. Now with
Instant Action Recruit status you can play alongside veteran AA gamers and
complete training at your convenience. Instant Action is available on any
mission that is not restricted to Special Forces only players. You will need
to complete Basic Combat Training in order to achieve honor levels higher than
Honor 20, plus you'll gain the benefits of improving your skills as a soldier
with each training level you complete! Your Honor will remain at 20 until you
pass BCT, at which point you will receive all of the additional experience
points you have accrued.
-AA Loader-
The new AA Loader checks your version of the game to ensure you are up to date
with the most current release. It also provides easy links to other community
tools and support information. The AA Loader requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or
later be installed on your system.
-Flashbang-
The flashbang has been tuned a bit to make it more realistic. The
effectiveness has been reduced when used outdoors. Also the blackout duration
has been reduced.
-Weapon Reloading-
Weapons reload faster then before. Fixing jams and using the
supported/unsupported function are also quicker now.
-Every Soldier is a Sensor (ES2)-
Every Soldier, as a part of a small unit, is a potential information collector
and an essential component in achieving situational awareness. The updated SF
Extraction mission includes new ES2 gameplay designed to embrace this new ES2
philosophy.
-SAI Creation Tool-
The AA Mission Editor now includes tools to help you set up and capture images
for use with the Situational Awareness Indicator (SAI). You can customize the
captured images and import them into your maps to enable simple SAI
functionality. Look in the 'Tools/SAI Map Image Tools' menu to give it a try.
